I hate to buck the trend, but I found WB to be very reasonable to deal with when he was at FR. I would like to see him back with us actually.

Monday,
I'm curious... In what way did you find him "reasonable". What did he do to you, that made you think of him as "reasonable".

"I have a cunning plan that will pour tons of money onto us clever leaders : let's cut water supplies to crews. It can only lead us to filthy wealth and save the airline. Without this great move, our entreprise is out of business !"

Bravo ! How brave is that ! I mean did it take a 3 hour meeting to come up with such idiocy ? Does it take an MBA in cost accounting to implement "this" or just being an idiot ?

I hope the guys at management bring their bottle too ! Those large water containers in the canteen are such a waste of money for the corporation. So unproductive devices !

Frying

They got it wrong by taking the water, they have had another meeting and decided that if they take our small piece of cheese and 2 biscuits then that would save the company.

Pathetic really, what they forgot to do when trying to reduce our humble terms and conditions was to look at the spreadsheet column marked goodwill! They will soon discover that this column has evaporated.

No, you're all wrong... it wasn't the cracker with it's rosemary sprinkles, or the cheese in shiny foil... it was eliminating the yoghurt and its subversive culture that saved the company!

Is this the same Warwick Brady who, as a Britannia Airways sponsored Cadet in '88 or thereabouts, accidentally set fire to a colleague with a flaming Sambuca ? Injuries minimal, thanks to a nearby Soda siphon!

Could the net be tightening on his identity?
well if you think that LHC and WB are one in the same you are most wrong, his identity is already well know. and its not MOL.

Talking about the bottles of water and cost drivers, here at AF, there used to be a time when recourse to such practices as (very) slow taxi and systematic TOGA thrust take-offs would get messages across. No strikes. No media. No PR. Just engine maintenance reports of costs going through the roof.

VERY efficient, I can assure you !!!

Most cost-cutting actions can be swallowed in these difficult times. I find some are like swearing in kiddengarden and probably require swift and affirmative reaction.

One would require some backbone for that, something most orange button pushers seem to lack. Remember, unlike France, in the UK people prefer to stand politely in a queue before getting shafted.

or perhaps our sense of professionalism is such that we prefer not to compromise the efficiency of the operation!

Yep, and management knows that, so hence the tightening thumbscrews.

p.s. How "professional" is a management when they try to force crews to fly around without food, locked up in a 2x2 meter 'cubicle' whilst being treated like a potential terrorist every time they go to work? Even prisoners are treated better in the Western world...

But please, kick the tires, do keep up your professionalism! The management is counting on it!

Ezy management changes

Don't know WB and have never even had dealings with him. Not even a Pilot either so sorry for gatecrashing a pilot thread because I'm

Have loads of exp dealing with the self loading frieght at EZY and been on the recieving end of various management iniatives

Congratulations H89....not!! At a time when crew morale is crashing faster than the share price you appoint somebody like this!!!

Let's take a look at 2 of the EZY values here and how the management in H89 demonstrate commitment to this;

Safety the number 1 priority....no compromises. So lets appoint somebody who encourages Pilots in writing to join the Taliban then. I bet he regrets this now but think of your public image EZY.
Integrity.....well lets appoint somebody formally identified by a judge as giving "false evidence". Have I missed the meaning of integrity here??

I feel for all EZY crew This guy has a track record of taking the crew water/food. EZY have already done that without his help so what does he have in store now? He must have been able to demonstrate another sensitive cost saving iniative to AH at interview....goodness knows what it is but no doubt the crew are targeted and not the management bonuses!!
